Mario Burgos-Rosales was not at this scene when the robbery went wrong Saturday morning, but police said he helped one of the suspects here escape.

"It's looking as if his role began after the incident occurred," said Nadine Hamby, with the Albuquerque Police Department.

Burgos-Rosales is charged with aiding a felon. In this case, he helped Francisco Melgar escape the country.

The criminal complaint said Melgar's brother Jose gave them the information they needed to make the arrest.

He said Francisco Melgar told him something went wrong inside the Denny's restaurant during the robbery.

Melgar claimed he held the door and 22-year-old Marvin Lopez and 32-year-old Pablo Ortiz fired the shots.

The complaint said hours later Francisco called his brother Jose and the two put a plan into action to get Francisco out of town.

Jose told police he and Burgos-Rosales took Francisco to Phoenix Monday morning.

"He had picked him up and he had helped him go across the state line to Arizona and had also helped him get across into Mexico," said Hamby.

The complaint said the border run was done by someone who was paid to take Francisco out of Arizona. Now police said Melgar is on the run in another country, but their search isn't stopping.

"At this point we're working with federal agents to see if that's actually what happened, but we do believe that's where Mr. Melgar is at right now. He is in Mexico," Hamby said.

Burgos-Rosales is in jail. Police said he's not talking.

Police said they're not sure Burgos-Rosales is part of the MS 13 gang -- the same group police said was behind the robbery.

Burgos-Rosales is jail on a $200,000 bond.

If convicted of the charges he faces up to 18-months in jail and a fine.
